Manipulated

Fingers on the strings, puppet show in my mind,

Thought I had control, but the pull’s redesigned.

Whispers in the static, coding every line,

Who’s behind the curtain? Shadows intertwine.

Twisted my world, bent my sight,

Played me wrong, but I’ll rewrite.

Manipulated, but I’m breaking free,

You twisted the game, now the game’s on me.

Manipulated, yeah, but I still see,

You can’t hold the strings when I cut them clean.

Scripts in my head, but the ink’s run dry,

Fighting with the echoes, they amplify.

Mirror’s cracked now, but I see your lie,

Thought you had me trapped, but I’m reaching sky.

Broke my trust, built my doubt,

Played me close, I’m calling out.

Manipulated, but I’m breaking free,

You twisted the game, now the game’s on me.

Manipulated, yeah, but I still see,

You can’t hold the strings when I cut them clean.
